Community
Tinderbox is all about bringing people together through music and helping build a sense of community. We work closely with a number of community groups and organisations to do this in different settings, and try to bring everyone together through our Tinderbox Hubs and other projects.
We run over 100 youth and community workshops a year with young people of all ages and levels of ability, and everyone comes together though exciting events, unusual orchestras and bands, and other productions.
